Notice the tree on top of the cliff. Most of its soil is gone! |

These berries were just pretty. |
|
In addition to the red and white, there is also yellow in the dirt. Look how thin the topsoil is! |
|
The water carried down some dirt from above and it made a pretty pattern so I snapped it. |
|
The colors were just too vivid to pass up! |
|
|
|
The clean looking white made it look like a castle. |
|
Those "raised" areas that look like roots are really just dirt that is eroding from above. It made a pretty pattern which is only messed up by someone who illegally defaced the area. |

|
Some more pretty colors and patterns. The white here is sand washed down from above. It was just like the sand at the beach. |
|

|
|
More trees will fall soon. |
|
More stripes of white sand. |
|
Yet another castle. |
|
Now we get to go back up the switchbacks to the parking lot. Its only about 100' straight up. |
